I did something similar in August.
"Small percentage of net worth and cannot be margin called so I’m chilling"
Did you run the numbers?
When I ran the numbers I could defend the loan until about $6K BTC. As price drops the value of your capital exponentially decreases until you're liquidated.
I wasn't stressed but the realisation that my whole stack could theoretically be vaporised from a little loan was eye opening.
